COVID-19 is now a global pandemic. A virus that originated from the small town of Wuhan in China has now globally led to more than 10,000 deaths and has affected more than 2,45,967 people.

Doctors and nurses around the world have been spending their days and nights at quarantine centres, risking their own lives to save others.

Some of these healthcare workers took to social media to show how the constant work has not only affected them mentally, but physically as well.

Healthcare professionals are not alone in this fight. As pointed out by many on Twitter, we should be thankful to all front line community members. From police officials, delivery agents to cleaners, there are many who are putting their lives on risk every day.

While some shared images of how gruelling their days and nights had become, others had a message for the rest of the world to see!
